About This Quote

When you read a text, you should always take the time to think about and understand everything that you read. You should also take the time to correct any errors that you find in the text. The reader who fails to ponder, or at least mark, the words he does not understand is headed for disaster. This is because if you do not understand something, it's important for you to say so and explain yourself.
